FreedomBox ot?

[Cheryl Homiak]

My main problem is that freedombox is as slow as molasses for me; I mean
several minutes between speech outputs; really, I could take a nap!!!
Which leaves me not knowing what is happening; am I going to hear
something eventually or have I goofed up or been disconnected. Plus the
speech for me is painfully slow word by word, not very intelligible, and
has some kind of distortion; can't explain it; maybe like some of those
old movie soundtracks or something. My machine is 500 megahertz amdK6
processor; I've run gnopernicus and gnome on it some. I don't know if the
beta is just like this or if something on my system is really slowing it
down. My audio on computer and via internet is fine so it shouldn't be an
audio/soundcard issue.
Also, I'm wondering if there is someplace to look for info on working
choices, commands, what the choices in the preferences menu do, etc.
finally, I don't think I've been able to talk to freedombox yet, though
text entry does work, albeit very slowly. I may not have my sblive mike
settings right for that or something.
Any input on these issues would be appreciated.
Thanks.
